Watched three awesome movies in past few days, one a movie about three whales caught in a small water hole under and surrounded by ice, and how two of them were rescued after a united effort of activists, locals, a tycoon, US army and USSR army, it was an amazing movie based on true story, back in Gorbachev, Reagan era, Drew Barrymore as always gave an amazing performance, she is a brilliant actress without least doubt!
In case you want to watch it, do it, its “Big miracle”, if you love animals you will love it.
The second one was a movie named “Into the blue” most probably, Halle Berry, another amazing actress played the leading role, she played the role of a woman who used to swim with sharks without cage, then something bad happened and she stopped doing that, then as it happens, someone made her return and the story of that return. It was an amazing movie. Sharks and whales are absolutely intriguing creatures to me, seen quite a few programs on them, and of course almost all movies excluding moby dick, that movie ticks me off!
The third one was “eight below” if you love dogs like I do well keep your handkerchief handy, it is the heart breaking story of a group (?) of sled dogs deserted in Antarctic during a snow storm, their human owners (that will be the proper term) packed and left without them, not only that, they tied them to the line so that they wont escape, of course the idea was to get them after dropping the human cargo but they did not/ could not return.
The movie is about their survival in that ice desert without food and other things, how six of them survived for more than six months, till four of the group returned for them spending money from their own pockets. It is a harsh reminder of human selfishness and at the end some human who remind us that not all are selfish!
I avoided this movie thinking that it was morbid, love dogs too much but it is morbid but stays within limit! the fighting spirit and loyalty of those dogs makes this movie a must watch for me.
